This is why I prefer sci-fi! I get killed by alien raiders, but at least I have a decent toilet!

bobthefunny
We'll we're already dying from the plague, and housing costs mean that soon enough we won't even afford the outhouses... so....
brianingram
Can I pick the star trek universe ... at Risa?
AeonsShadow
Forget wiping, just use a wand of PRESTIDIGITATION!
billyrayvirus
You mean I get to own a bathroom?
Scruffy2
Poop into bag of holding. Turn it inside out when in danger.
userfriendly19777
The good old days when 2 out of 5 kids didn't reach the ripe old age of 5. Didn't even need the plague for that.
monikir
pooping in water is barbaric, I look forward to shitting in outhouses again

Don’t go back past the invention of general anesthesia, that’s my motto
LoopStricken
Goblins? How terrible.
nat300Lord
I am too much of a lazy sack of shit to enjoy the medieval times. I need books at least. Gimme like a progressive steam punk world.
IclaimRandomJobs
As a DM I have put many hours into how the life of an ordinary peasant would be in one of these settings…. It’s pretty bad.
SodomySnake

As if depression didn’t exist in medieval times
Bacxaber
Kinda hard to have depression if you're a dope-ass wizard.
Mostlydeadpool
the medical is usually better in sci-fi too.
Dracology
Bitch I'd just go and be a Kobold. its a simple life. Build traps, Mine caves, Fuck, Serve dragons, Fuck, Die to traps you forgot you built.
PropainAndPropainAccesories
Yeah still would 100% prefer it to this dystopian timeline we got now.
BrightestNight
Try The Guardians of the Flame series. College kids go to the fantasy world as their characters.
Dunes8
Urban Fantasy. That way you get modern amenities + neat fantastical elements, like sharing a bus seat with kobold.
folded13
Except Urban Fantasy is always dystopic to a ludicrous degree. Dresden, Shadowrun, WoD...
HOOMANGUY
Lets not kid ourselves there isn't a single person on the internet that wouldn't stay in an Isekai world if given the chance.
vmos
I would absolutely stay there, they have excellent meatballs with loganberry jam and a huge selection of beds
HOOMANGUY
The people who have friends aren't on here 24/7 anyway.
henofthewoods
The part that always makes me cringe in fantasy is that we always have to implement racism and classism bullshit. I WANT FANTASIER!!
folded13
You want Fantasy: The Next Generation
Fastjack2056
Any magic universe that struggles with basic hygiene isn't using enough magic. It's a cantrip, for Crom's sake, what are they teaching kids.
AutoFox
I'd prefer a space opera setting with ecumenopoli and technology that's basically magic.
syntheticgod8
Everyone expect to be doing Wizard shit or using a laser-sword, but you'd be a mud farmer like everyone else.

I found this portion of the trailer to be a HUGE missed opportunity for them to have that be a surprise in the movie. Really disappointing.
jhsuber
If isekai’s have taught me anything, knowing how to make a pump for the village well and a toilet are sure fire ways to become a millionaire
folded13
How many people know how to do either of those things?
Ruik
Some may have learned about ram pumps or cylinder/torpedo pumps in school. You could make one with a quick trip to Home Depot out of PVC.
Evillairforrent
Also a way to create fire , as to lay down your ascent to godhood
CandleToad
EmporerDragon
Don't forget about trademarking the game Reversi/Othello.
AZRAELSBLADE
Do I get magick powers by being isekai’d? Then yea.
alaest0r
Unfortunately, re:zero
ThePunnyGuy
The reason I love Isekai anime so much. I get to live vicariously through the characters

"You absolutely do get cool awesome magic powers, Subaru."

He did learn a spell and could have learned more if he tried. He also later got the sloth magic powers. But probably not worth the trauma

Bullshit magic powers TM* , like without cheaty bullshit it aint worth

I would be fine with the keep your memories and grind to ascend style a la Mushoku Tensei.
Aldante92
.
NotWelcomehere
The literal progenitor of many of the tropes in the isekai genre, yup.
Aldante92
Like, "In Another World With My Smartphone" levels of broken, where god feels so bad for you that he gives you an awesome easy life
Zombieemperor
Didint watch that one but id imagine its isake op so it works. I wouldnt mind an overlord scenario either.
Aldante92
Overlord would be cool, but having my personality warped by it would be a deal breaker. Especially losing my libido with Albedo around
Zombieemperor
I mean thats there more for his benefit given the lvl of bullshit around. That and he doesnt want to bang albedo cus shes
flavivsaetivs
Let me rule as space Roman Emperor, but like good space Roman Emperor, not like Warhammer or Star Wars space Roman Emperor.
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
We get it, you're from Space Rome
Fedotia
40K emperor wasnt a bad guy in the year 30K.
Treestroyer
Isn't a bad guy in 40K either. More like a morale-less skeleton that rests atop of medically necessary fancy chair.
mistermixelpix
No one wants to admit that they'd be one of the miserable extra characters in sci-fi/fantasy, but that's 99.9% of us.
TheWhiteRat
Statistics are a bitch. Same statistics that imply that because we're at the highest population, we may be near a population collapse.
Technotoad64
Well, that's 99.9% of us IRL anyway so it's not like you'd lose anything.

You can start off as mob but then turn into the MC. Watch Trap in date sim is tough for a mob. Really good anime
SoFedUpOfIt
But of you get warped there your clearly the chosen one
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Still better social mobility than under late-stage capitalism.
flavivsaetivs
Most of the people on Earth in Star Trek live in a post-Scarcity Utopia. As long as you're not living during the Dominion War, you're good.
arcadia2000
But like, in a ton of places in the Federation, the Dominion War didn’t even really touch them. Still better than this timeline.
Justabutt
Okay but like I’m sure if you’re being teleported into some fantasy magic world there is a high chance you’re an important enough character.
manystripes
That's fine, the adventurers can come to my shop and sell the random stuff they found in the last dungeon at like 1/100th the actual value
Eldibs
I'd rather be an unseen person in the Star Trek universe. No scarcity, only doing the work you enjoy? Sign me right the fuck up.
QueenOfTheFey
Yup, us watching billionaires fight over space is as close as we get to real life game of thrones.
TexasRed19
I’m one of the miserable extras *now*, that’s not a deterrent.
GradiustheFox
The miserable side characters in a fantasy still have a better chance of escaping their role than the miserable side characters in reality
henofthewoods
Oh, geez. I just realized how much I relate to elder Luke Skywalker all of a sudden.
SanchoPliskin
As opposed to a miserable extra character in this slow progression towards an apocalypse?
popejubal
Morning! Nice day for fishing ain't it! Hu ha!

JathamWimes
Same with post-apocalypse. You’re not Mad Max, you’re the base of the skull pyramid in the background.

I'm the first to admit that I'd be the guy that looks over his shoulder to be killed by the monster of the week.

The trick is to be funny and charming. That way you'll at least survive until the movie.

I wouldn't mind being an extra in Discworld...
screenaholic
I've spent enough time learning the skills that I think I'm actually equivalent to a lvl 1 fighter. I'll party up and start small.

You act like we're not all miserable side characters in reality
DukeDarkwood
I might be a side character in my own story.
somethingstupidandclever
I am def the main character in my life. It sucks that the goal of every quest is "make money or die" but I'm working on leaving the USA
HalstenTorqThorkelson
Nah, if you got transported there from our world, that means toy automatically become the protagonist. Or you die quickly in a prologue.
DuskMachinator
Nothing wrong being an extra, unless it is dystopian or horror.
SanchoPliskin
Psssst…. Look around ?

Sister in law once asked what I’d be in medieval times and I told her “Dead because I had bad IBS through High School.”
Mec26
As a chronically ill person , I’d last just long enough to teach something profound to someone who’s gonna survive.
Mostlydeadpool
if you don't put yourself as the main character of your own story, you're just an NPC in someone elses.

I'm an NPC in my story, never mind someone elses

Gimme that Hobbit life with a library to match

I'd be a ahop owner/crafter. Basically what I do here but I'd probably have less debt.

TheobromineAddict
Redshirts, all of you.
TotaltyNotCIA
Nah; i've got myself one uh dem fancy edumacations; I'd be the guy telling the redshirts how fucked they are & running away
secretdpp
Gold shirts died the most, I'll take the redshirt
TheobromineAddict
More goldshirts died as a percentage of goldshrrts, but I still wouldn't wear a redshirt on an away team down planet.
Teaelf
That's a blue for me, dawg. Science guys/gals stay on the ship and look at space beakers. I'm down. Doing the space dishes while you die.
soulsource
Not even. Redshirts still qualify for starfleet.
Redisia
i'd end up enslaved by the orions or something or assimilated by the borg... knowing my luck.
henofthewoods
*sentient beings that we observe, but do not interfere with, all of you.
Yellowchopsticks
Nah, I'd be the victim the hapless redshirts were sent to investigate.

Doesn't matter had sex
Hexrowe
Eh, I spent half my childhood on the family farm that still had no plumbing or running water. Shitting in outhouses really wasn't THAT bad.
melsinaow9000
Just make sure not to fall in ...

Just gotta have your pink styrofoam ring ring so you don’t stick to the wooden seat in the winter
Hexrowe
And watch the nail heads.
Grillparzer
My Dad’s admonition to look for Copperheads first took all of the fun out of it.
JustBoone
As long as you have a rag to wipe your ass, and a seperate rag to wipe your face you'll be fine.
alcamar
Just don't mix the two, or it won't just be egg on your face
Hexrowe
TBH, I probably would miss toilet paper, tho.
cheesedogs
How'd people wipe ass before tp?
Hexrowe
With cloths, sponges, water, leaves, etc. Practices varied according to locally available resources.

stickywiggit
Outhouses ain't even CLOSE to the worst part of the medieval period... Also plague? Oh honey. So many others...
Mairoa
Plague wouldn't be that bad with modern knowledge of germ theory. Places that fuckin washed had low death rates
stickywiggit
How about having a hand that's specifically to wipe your ass with bc there's no toilet paper? Ya know how some people don't wash their hands
stickywiggit
PS, it was the left one. The left one was the shit hand.
Hexrowe
And I quote, "medieval fantasy, not actual medieval times you impudent fool"! This is the kind of shit low level utility magic is for.
Meltemi
Fun is when the teenagers come by at Halloween to push over the outhouse at night with you in it. Extra fun is planning ahead and moving ①
Meltemi
the outhouse half a foot forward so the hole is exposed next to the wall when they try. ②
Hexrowe
Our outhouse was built into the wall of the cowhouse. (So you get all yer shit in one pile, see?) Good luck tipping that over. :D
RisingSol
I imagine you had TP though. Doubt medival fantasy has TP.
simsom4343
Well, in a magic included world, just use clean magic if possible
iRememberLOLcats
Prestidigitation can clean stuff. Just saying.

My favorite spell, bar none.
Hexrowe
Prolly not, but depending on exact locale you might have flowing water, velvety moss or prestidigitation. :)

That's why you have outhouse clothes and boots to easily put on. Freezing cold seat sucks, though

It’s not that bad in actual -51 degrees American either

Honestly, I've always rather enjoyed storms! Not the destruction - but the wind, rain, thunder, it makes me feel... more connected, somehow.
LespritDeLescalier22
It’s because you’re pooping
flavivsaetivs
Same thunderstorms are the best.
MisterLemons
One huge super long lightning flash really gets the 'plumbing' working
poochyena
Not as fun when you have old tall trees near your house.
HedonistBeard
Well you'd have an axe in those times, so just chop them down for wood. These days we keep them for various reasons.
Hexrowe
Which is just one reason not to have old tall trees next to the house. (Unless you live in the actual woods instead of a farm.)
HedonistBeard
Even in the woods people tended to chop a clearing around their home.
LadyLionPie
Lightning rods are a thing that exist.
poochyena
People tend to not place old trees next to homes.
Mairoa
We lived in the actual fucking woods but cut all the trees down close enough to the house to fall for our garden etc. Not fuckin with that
